Mark Laliberte “Cut Program”

Mark Laliberte “Cut Program”Collage Experiments, 2000-2013

Collage is a gesture that applies pressure to today's culture. By
taking the formal images of the mainstream world and cutting into them,
new versions of possibility take shape. Collage makes tomorrow possible
now.

This exhibition offers a 'collage view' of several
different collage projects I have created over the years, providing a
sutured sampling of paper-based works spanning back to 2000. Whether
chaotic, structured, messy or formal, the visual vocabularies on display
here offer a surface look at the varied approaches taken in the
struggle to organize meaning in a cut/paste world view.
